Here was an unused a comer of the yard that was under a big pine tree, it was made into a sitting area. Nice a cool on hot days, lots of shade and a good place to smoke cigars at night. The Hostas grow ver well under the pine tree in this corner
Here is a dual set of smoke bushes the were initially planted to grow tall and provide privacy. But, the back neighbor later put in a row of bushes (hemlocks) that cover the privacy point, so I was trying to re-purpose and cut the bushes down. Also second challenge, the area does not get enough sun for bushed to grow full and stay purple. But they grow back each year, so they are staying. Bush on left was almost lost this year, trying to grow it back. (ie: fence needs repair, I know...)
